Hornsby was one of the worst teammates of all time (he peed in the showers despite being asked over and over not too - among other selfish stunts). He played in an era with less competition then Morgan. He was average w/ the glove, not a very good base runner either. Whereas Morgan did win 5 GG's, was I believe the best percentage base stealer of all time. And was not an AHole (as a teammate, forget his announcing antics).

Also no matter what adjustments you make, playing in the NL (63-68) and Houston from (63-71) will kill your totals and averages. Whereas Hornsby played in the all time best decade of hitting ever that was 1921-1931 in the weaker league. Morgan also played in the better league at the time - and that pushed his adjusted totals down a bit too.

The orginal point was who is better, and believe me, Morgan is a good deal better then Ryno.

The Morgan v Hornsby argument is more difficult, but there is not mistaking the lack of black and latino players in Hornsby's time.
